Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 45 Ted
Heinrich's apartment is different from the usual one. The first floor and the second floor are completely separated, and the stairs are also outside. The first floor can be said to be reserved for guards and nannies. The outermost part of the second floor is the lobby. , and then inside is the format of a small room.

Heinrich took out a key from his pocket and opened the outermost door. It was pitch dark inside. After he entered, he pressed a switch, and the room was suddenly brightly lit.

"Wang!"

A strange cry came out, and as soon as Rosia stepped on the floor, she saw a huge black shadow flying towards her from the opposite side, bumping into her with lightning speed, and with a plop, both figures fell to the ground .

The floor was covered with plush carpet. Although it wasn't very painful, Rosia still felt numb all over her body from the fall, but no matter how severe the blow was, it couldn't compare to the two green dog eyes facing her above.

Rosia was in a state of shock, what the hell is this?Why is there a dog in the hall?Why didn't the dog find its owner first?

Heinrich finished the last puff of his cigarette, threw it into the trash can outside the door, and shouted, "Ted, get up."

The dog turned its head to look at Heinrich, and then looked at Rosia. He hesitated for a moment, and the dog's eyes flashed, as if he was unwilling to lift his paw and take it away.

Rosia quickly got up from the ground and hid behind.When I looked at it from a distance, I realized that it was a purebred German Shepherd. It was very big and agile. It also had another name, Blackback, and it was the most popular military dog ​​during World War II.

Most dogs are very cute, but it’s a pity that Rosia was bitten by a dog when she was a child. After being bitten for a year, I can’t forget it for ten years. Even though this dog is very smart and looks awesome, Rosia doesn’t want to get close to it at all. it.

While she was still in shock, another person came in from the door. It was Heinrich's adjutant. He was holding a huge paper bag in his arms. There were bulging things inside. Rosia saw the head of a green mysterious object exposed on it, which seemed to be a vegetable. .

Heinrich's eyes also fell on the huge paper bag, motionless, and his eyes were a little obscure under the bright chandelier. Rosia knew that he couldn't cook as soon as he saw this small sample.

Also, even though seven or eight years ago the Germans were still living without enough food and clothing, cooking was not a skill that a person who had attended a military academy since he was a child must know.Rosia thought Heinrich, the adjutant, was very cute. He pretended to be cool and capable every time he was outside, but in fact he was just a middle-aged man.

The adjutant obviously couldn't understand his superior's behavior of just staring and not taking over. He stretched out a hand to scratch his hair and looked at the paper bag doubtfully: "Isn't it enough?"

Ha ha!

Rosia almost wanted to light a candle for him!You are so stupid and cute, be careful if your cruel commander shoots you, and then his cruel dogs tear you into pieces.

"Well, give me the food!" Rosia stretched out her hand, not because she wanted to save her, but because she was really hungry. She hadn't eaten anything all day long and her stomach no longer growled.

The adjutant looked over doubtfully: "Can you cook? Miss Franti."

Rosia nodded.

In modern times, her family owns a small and medium-sized hotel, and she often hangs out there, so she is a little bit influenced by what she hears and sees.Even though she is a doctor, everyone who holds a knife has something in common. She can't cook a big meal, but she can still cook a few home-cooked dishes.

The adjutant handed her the paper bag, and Rosia bent down immediately under the weight. She looked at Heinrich aside and asked weakly: "Sir, have you eaten any Chinese food?" You can't eat it anyway. , I can also cook Chinese food.

Heinrich waved his hand. Rosia recognized this movement and explained that he should get out of here.Now used here, it is probably to make her hurry into the kitchen.

Uh……

Rosia glanced at the ground holding the paper bag: "Commander Heinrich, maybe, can you let your dog rest first?"

Ya threw her down and didn't say anything. He even wanted to follow her into the kitchen, but there was no way!

Heinrich sat on the sofa and glanced this way: "Ted, come here."

The dog named Ted turned around unwillingly, but as soon as he took a step, he turned back and followed Rosia again, as if he was ready to disobey the military order and enter the kitchen life or death.

"Click!"

Rosia broke out in cold sweat: "..."

Sure enough, there are different kinds of owners for every kind of dog!
Ted the dog wisely went to the sofa, and Rosia carried a paper bag of vegetables into the kitchen and closed the door, blocking the sight of the three dangerous people outside.

Sometimes people can no longer feel hunger when they are extremely hungry. Rosia was like this now, with a flat stomach and no feeling at all. She just felt inexplicably uncomfortable.She quickly cut the potatoes into shreds, and cut all the tofu, cabbage, beef, and sausages.

The tools in the kitchen are complete, and of course they are very clean, with no traces of use at all.Rosia looked at the ingredients, and simply boiled a pot of vegetable porridge, cooking slowly beside it, and started cooking at the same time.

Three people and one dog can't eat much, so five dishes and a pot of porridge should be about the same.

Rosia cleaned up quickly, and the two pots were cleaned up at the same time, and they were all done in a little over an hour.She felt a little uneasy at this fast speed, don't make her angry again if she doesn't eat well.

I tasted a little bit one by one and found that they worked normally and tasted pretty good, just a little hot.

Compared with European cuisine, Chinese cuisine has ever-changing dishes and different combinations of flavors.It's just a bit lacking in appearance, not as refined and beautiful as European dishes.

Rosia opened the door, and the first person to greet her was Ted the dog. Her hands shook and she almost threw the plate out.

The adjutant looked at the golden plate of shredded potatoes and couldn't help but praise it. He immediately ran to a room and brought out a bottle of red wine.

Chinese food and red wine are a perfect match!

Rosia went back to serve other dishes with a strange expression. After a while, everything was served on the table, the dishes and chopsticks were set, and the three of them sat down with one dog.

Perhaps because Rosia did not miss Ted's share, the dog's eyes suddenly became much friendlier when looking at her.It's just perfect.

There are red, yellow and green on the table, and the combination is barely good-looking. The only regret is that there are no chopsticks here, and they have to use knives and forks to eat Chinese food.Heinrich looked at it for a moment, then picked some familiar potatoes with a fork.

Most Europeans have never eaten Chinese food, and the East and the West have different understandings of the shapes and combinations of vegetables. Rosia has completely subverted their understanding of other vegetables, except for potatoes, which they can barely recognize.

The adjutant couldn't help but fork the potatoes, and suddenly exclaimed after eating them: "It's so spicy! Whoops!" He lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge to relieve the pain, but quickly stretched out his fork again.

Chili pepper is a very magical thing. It can torture people to death, but it can also make people go crazy.

Soon, Rosia discovered that the three on the table began to silently grab food.Heinrich was the commander, and the adjutant who had bullied him repeatedly was aggrieved. He was chewing food in his mouth. From Rosia's point of view, his cheeks were bulging. He was so naive and adorable. Who could tell that he was usually like that? Kill without blinking an eye.

After finishing the meal, several of them were exhausted and stopped drinking even one sip of red wine.

Rosia had been hungry all day, and now she ate too much, and her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.He asked Heinrich for instructions and went back to his room to rest.

After opening the door, the interior is full of gray-blue style, very quiet and calm. There is a small bed next to the bedside table with a lamp on it.There is also a bookshelf in the room, but there is no book on it, and it is full of copper models of armored vehicles and bombers.On the top of the bookshelf, there is a whole row of photo frames.

The bookshelf was not high, and Rosia could see it clearly. The first picture was a group photo of four people, including Werner, Heinrich, Eric, and a young man she didn't know. Their faces were all childish, and the background It's a military academy.

The second and third photos were all of people whom Rosia didn't know, and then there was a photo of Heinrich alone. He was holding a medal and smiling brightly, just like those carefree college students in modern times.

If her appearance hadn't changed at all, Rosia would have been unrecognizable.A person has undergone such earth-shaking changes in just one or two years, from simple to fierce and cruel, and war is the life of everyone in this era.

Rosia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Such a comparison made her feel that the air was heavy.The good mood that I felt relaxed while eating just now disappeared again.

This Polish night is quiet and beautiful. When will the new war begin?

The next day, while Rosia was still sleeping, there was a loud knock on the door, the sound was rapid and very dull.She kicked her legs and turned over on the bed.I struggled desperately. I wanted to stay in bed for a while, but suddenly I remembered that this was not a hospital. I immediately stood up and quickly dressed and spread the quilt.

There is still some soreness in the limbs, which are the sequelae of walking too much all at once.Rosia covered her mouth and yawned in the room, walked to the door, and opened the door.

"long……"

The greeting that reached her mouth was swallowed down again. Rosia looked around and saw no one at all.Feeling strange, she suddenly felt something pressing on her foot. She lowered her head and met Ted's dog eyes.

All right!It turned out to be the impure dog knocking on the door.

Let's just say, why would Heinrich do such a thing? He should either just ignore her, or he should pull the safety catch and shoot the door.

Ted raised his fleshy paw and hit Rosia's foot, then turned his head twice and walked towards the living room.

Rosia followed in confusion. When they got to the counter, Ted reached out and smashed the counter again. There was a white note on it.

When I picked it up and looked at it, I saw a line of German saying: Just be patient and don't cause trouble.

Rosia was very shady, and she didn't intentionally get involved in those things. It was as if she deliberately caused trouble every time.But, no!

Rosia rushed out of the living room with the note, lay down on the balcony and looked down. Sure enough, there was no one in the apartment except the guard, and the vehicles in front of the gate had already left.It was as if her arrival here was an illusion.

Rosia couldn't react. Heinrich just left her and left. How could she pick up Pino?But he probably means he will come back. His purpose this time seems to be to transport military supplies.

Rosia waited patiently for the time being, but Ted followed her step by step, never leaving her.After washing and coming out, he still met those dog eyes when he opened the door.

"Uh, Ted, what's wrong with you?"

Ted smashed his paw again, turned around and ran away.Rosia followed it and saw it entering a room, taking out a bag of dog food from a small box, shaking it at Rosia, then opening its mouth and throwing it out with a look of dissatisfaction.

Hey, this dog is really good, he can understand German and Polish, and he is so arrogant.

Rosia has always been afraid of dogs, and now Ted was impressed. Although she still didn't dare to get close to it, she still bent over and smiled: "Do you want to eat, Ted, wait a minute, I'll do it."

A Nazi dog is also a dog master, and cannot be ignored.

Rosia made some food casually, finished breakfast with Ted, and then returned to the room.Fortunately, the guy stopped following her after eating.

Rosia didn't dare to visit Heinrich's apartment or mess with his things.After entering the room where I lived, I looked around to see if there were any books or anything to occupy my time.

It's just that at the end, I didn't even turn over a piece of paper. As a last resort, I had to go to see Lord Dog.

Rosia opened the door, and Ted was half lying in the living room. He heard the sound and looked over.

Well, up to this moment she still felt like she was dealing with someone else, treating Ted completely like an adult.It's quite scary to ask a dog for a book or something.

"Ted, um, do you know where the book is?" Rosia said, making a rectangle with her hand, and then turning the pages.

Ted tilted his head and looked at her for a while, shook his tail, suddenly stood up and ran to the sofa, then jumped up from the sofa, his paws happened to be on the handle of the door next to him, and when he fell to the ground, The door shuddered open.

Rosia looked dumbfounded from the opposite side. After a while, Ted pulled out two books with his paws and kicked them all the way to her like rolling balls.

"Thank you, Ted!"

Rosia bent down and picked up the two books. Ted raised his paws and waved them in a bear-like manner, just like Heinrich.

After closing the door, Rosia sat on the bed and flipped through the book.The first, uh, Mein Kampf...

This is Hitler's book. As a rational young man, she must reject the Nazi and fascist brainwashing.

The second book, the Nuremberg Laws of Germany...

Well, she shouldn't expect any interesting books to be found in the home of a brutal SS soldier. All they think about is loyalty to the Führer, and apart from training, they probably don't have time to read.

Rosia sat on the carpet, leaning against the end of the bed, flipping through the book of law in the sunshine.It was quiet all around, and suddenly I heard a gunshot not far away outside.

The sound of the gunshot was so sudden that it completely tore apart the silence of the morning. It broke into Rosia's ears, and her hand that turned over the book stopped.

Sitting stiffly on the carpet for a while, Rosia put down the book and got up, and walked carefully to the window, revealing her head.
